I have an oil furnance/boiler that is feeding an indirect fired 45 gallon Superstor (less than 2 years old). Ovethe course of 2 years, we have never run out of hot water - and now we are running out, after no change to our usage. The problem seems to have started after the heating season, now that it is June - so I think that is involved somehow. A plumber came and tried to fiddle with the thermostat in the boiler -- (said he set the low to "120" and the high to "160". In any event, that is not working. Suggestions on the root cause of the problem, and how to fix?

Hi Jon, just checking back and I see no one has picked this up. This would be part of a boiler systen so try reposting under " Boilers - Steam and Hot Water Systems " some really heads up guys over there that I'm sure can help.

I'll keep watching
